While I am debugging PHP Script in Eclipse, it doesn’t load mysql extension
How can I make phpunit scan the /etc/php5/cli/conf.d directory for ini files?
I am using phpunit, but it is very time-consuming to configure correctly. One issue I just encountered is that ini files for my php extensions do not seem to get loaded properly, when I Lauch phpunit as a “Run Configuration” from within Eclipse.
I basically followed this tutorial: http://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php/Configure_Eclipse_for_PHPUnit
When run from within eclipse (Menu Run…/Run Configurations…), then
the directory
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d
which is linked to
/etc/php5/conf.d/
is not parsed.
Thus, for example, file
/etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini
is ignored.
I have to add the one-liner to the ini file
echo "extension=curl.so" >> /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
which seems to solve the problem, but it is counterproductive, because it breaks modularization (and will be gone after the next distri / php upgrade)
To find this issue, I modified phpunit.php
by adding a call to phpinfo() to the beginning of the file.
Here’s the output.
PHP Version => 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4
System => Linux wb3 3.2.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 7 16:16:45 UTC 2012 x86_64
Build Date => Sep 12 2012 18:58:31
Server API => Command Line Interface
Virtual Directory Support => disabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /tmp/zend_debug/session6700026373526677062.tmp/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => (none)
Additional .ini files parsed => (none)
When I inspect /tmp/zend_debug/session6700026373526677062.tmp/php.ini:
using
grep -C 2 extension
I got no output.
After adding extension=curl.so to /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
the curl extension is loaded when I run the phpunit Eclipse-Run-configuration
But the result is different when I run phpunit from the command line.
Now I get
phpunit --debug --verbose MyClass
PHP Warning: Module 'curl' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
Update: (no answers yet)
I found a workaround for my problem:
I created a custom php.ini file in the filesystem, that contains all includes appended, and within Eclipse Preferences for PHP, I create a new configuration for the php5 interpreter, using my special-purpose php.ini.
Within Eclipse Run-Configuration Menu, , setting the Config Dialog Box, I simply point to the new php5-configuration.
But this does not solve the problem, so I’m still looking for answers. Is it an eclipse problem or a phpunit – problem? I have no clue at this time.
This is an expected behavior of Eclipse PDT. For more information, see the similar question and my answer.
